[Reportbug-maint] Bug#657753: reportbug: incorrectly reports status of dependencies

[Piotr Engelking]

Package: python-reportbug
Version: 6.3.1
Severity: normal

Reportbug incorrectly displays the same status for every dependency
within the same level (Depends, Recommends, Suggests) of the package a
bug is reported against, namely the actual status (such as 'ii' or
'pn') of the last displayed dependency:

$ cat foo
#!/usr/bin/python

import reportbug.utils
import sys

print(reportbug.utils.get_dependency_info('foo', ((x,) for x in sys.argv[1:])))
$ ./foo idonotexist python-reportbug

Versions of packages foo depends on:
ii  idonotexist       <none>
ii  python-reportbug  6.3.1

$ ./foo python-reportbug youdonotexist

Versions of packages foo depends on:
pn  python-reportbug  6.3.1
pn  youdonotexist     <none>
